I need to add to this.
Not only are we getting the file <unspecified filename> is larger than the maximum size supported by datastore I am also getting An error occurred while quiescing the virtual machine. The error stack says,"Cannot quiesce this virtual machine because VMware Tools is not currently available. "
Any ideas?
In the screen shot that attached above the size of the larger vmdk is 2,136,747,000,000 bytes. I've read that the Max size is 2,181,972,430,848 bytes. That is a difference of 45,225,430,848 bytes. As I stated the datastore is VMFS 5.58 and the block size is 1MB and the 8.79 TB datastore has 2.76 Free. Shouldn't I be able to create a snapshot?
Thank you for any help with this.
Mike
